Chapter 325 325 The fish that slipped through the net
Jiang Li sneaked back to the mound and saw two men with totems painted on their bodies crouching on the ground, holding a corpse with their heads buried in their arms and shaking non-stop. He raised his hand to pull the trigger and shot the two men dead.
He quickly returned to where Mu Feng and the others were waiting, and looked at them, "There are two more fish that slipped through the net."
You Lu thought about it and came to his senses, and gave Jiang Li a thumbs up, "Awesome! No wonder you shouted so loud just now."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Brother You Lu is also very good."
Everyone went down the mountain and passed the oak forest. Jiang Li looked at the sparsely hanging silkworm cocoons on the trees and said to Mufeng: "Let's collect these silkworm cocoons and give them back to Xiaoqing."
Mufeng nodded, "Okay!"
Hearing that Yao Xiaoqing wanted it, Youlu didn't even ask what it was and brought someone to help collect it.
Yu led his team to cut down the vines, quickly made a vine basket, and handed it to the collecting man.
A group of people were busy in the forest until it was almost dark. They cut down a small dead tree and then walked back carrying more than a dozen rattan baskets.
It got dark halfway through the journey. The fish blew the fire sticks, the bulls and the others gathered the dead branches and lit the sticks on fire. Everyone held the torches and reached the river.
The two groups separated by the river and returned to their tribes.
Yao Xiaoqing was also very happy to learn the news that the cannibals had been wiped out. He was a little strange looking at the expressions on Mu Feng and Xiong Niu's faces that were unable to explain anything.
"Look at you, don't those people look disgusting?"
Mu Feng nodded and was about to speak when Jiang Li grabbed the words and said, "There are just a few skulls hanging on the trees, which makes people feel a little spooky."
Mufeng also reacted, "Yes! We were so scared that our faces turned pale."
Yao Xiaoqing felt that it was definitely not the case, and guessed that they must have seen something disgusting.
Yao Hu glanced at a few people and said, "It's been a tiring day. Go get some food and rest early."
"Yeah! Let's go to the cafeteria right now."
Jiang Li and Mu Feng left together, and Yao Hu followed them.
Axing looked at the silkworm cocoons in the rattan frame, picked up one and looked at it, "Xiaoqing, what are you doing with this?"
Yao Xiaoqing gave up and said: "You will know when I make it."
Axing nodded, "Okay, let's wait until you're ready. You teach me and I'll help you choose together."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "I don't know how to choose. I just choose the plump and bright ones."
"I'll choose according to your taste."
The two chatted and picked out a basket.
Yao Xiaoqing saw Ah Xing yawning and said with a smile: "You are used to going to bed early, so just go to bed!"
Ah Xing felt like he couldn't open his eyes, so he nodded sheepishly, "Then I'll go to sleep first."
While Yao Xiaoqing was selecting silkworm cocoons, he recalled the silk reeling method written in the book. He also recalled how to cook the cocoons when his family bought silkworm cocoons to make silk quilts.
Jiang Li, Mu Feng and the others ate their night food and headed back.
Heiba turned to look at Jiang Li, hesitated for a while, and said a little shyly: "Jiang Li, Qiu came to me and said she wanted to be paired with me!"
Jiang Li turned around and joked: "Don't you always like her? She's come to find you, why are you still hesitating?"
Heiba glanced at him and lowered his head, "I know she likes you!"
Jiang Li patted him and said, "Look up at me!"
Hei Ba looked up at Jiang Li, who had a serious look on his face, and stood up straight, "I'm a little scared of you being like this."
Looking at Jiang Li like this, he suddenly remembered that in the past, although he was very strong, he was a bit stupid. After being injured while hunting, everyone thought he would die, but they didn't know that he would wake up again after sleeping for two days.
When Jiang Li woke up and looked at people, they were a little scared and didn't dare to disobey him.
He never got hurt when he went hunting, and he was able to kill wild animals that even the most powerful warriors of the tribe could not kill.
Jiang Li looked at him sternly, "Heiba, you also understand that in order to be paired, both of them must like each other. From the moment I picked up Xia and Qiu, I have treated them as my own tribe."
Heiba looked at him with an expression like a child who had done something wrong, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that."
Jiang Li looked at him angrily and amusedly. "Heiba, you have to understand that you are the bravest man in the Qingshan tribe and you are worthy of the best woman. If you like her, be bold."
Seeing that Jiang Li was not angry, Hei Ba straightened his chest and smiled naively, "Yes! Chief."
"Silly boy!" Jiang Li smiled and patted his shoulder, and the two of them walked back together.
Qiu stood at the door of the hall and saw the two of them entering the courtyard together. He smiled and stepped forward, "Chief, Heiba, Daliang and the others have been back a long time ago. Why did you come back?"
Jiang Li didn't answer and went straight upstairs.
Heiba walked up to her and looked at her seriously, "Qiu, do you really want to be paired with me?"
Seeing Heiba's serious expression, Qiu felt a little guilty. She took two steps back, lowered her head and whispered: "I, I am sincere!"
Heiba looked at her and his heart dropped, "You don't even dare to look at me when you are talking, and you dare to say that you are sincere!" After that, he turned around and left.
When Qiu saw Heiba turned away, she curled her lips and turned back to the house. She had already figured out Heiba's character, and she would be fine if she could coax him again after he got over his anger.

When Mu Feng returned home, he saw Yao Xiaoqing still picking silkworm cocoons in the main room. He stepped forward with a smile and said, "Xiaoqing, why don't you ask Ah Xing to pick with you."
Yao Xiaoqing raised her head and glanced at him, "Axing helped me pick for a while. I saw that she was sleepy and asked her to sleep. Is my father going on patrol again?"
Mufeng nodded, "Yeah! He said to take a look around and feel more at ease."
"Brother, we have to go into the mountains to collect salt tomorrow morning, so you should go to bed."
"You should go to bed early." Mu Feng said and turned around and walked towards the room.
Yao Xiaoqing picked for a while and waited for Yao Hu to come back before going to wash up and go to bed.
As soon as the white fish bellies appeared on the horizon, the Ning River became lively. People collecting fish traps and fishing people came to the river.
The road from the pier has been paved to the stone beach, and we will only wait for the dry season to drive pilings and build the water corridor.
Jiang left the smelting room and prepared to make some chisels to use for carving wooden boats.
Bao Amu led the collection team and followed Mu Feng to the oak forest to continue collecting silkworm cocoons.
Yao Xiaoqing and others peeled off the messy layer of silk on the outside of the cocoons, poured some plant ash and alkali into the large vat, and then poured the cocoons inside to boil.
After the cocoons were boiled and left to suffocate for a day, the leader used their fingernails to peel off the cocoons and take out the cocoons. They stretched the cocoons and put them on their hands. They removed the cocoons and the black peeled skin. They folded five or six layers on their hands and took them off...
After the silk floss was dried in the sun, Yao Xiaoqing led several people to tear the silk floss pieces into pieces.
Spread the pulled thin and soft silk batting layer by layer on the finished quilt surface, and fold it up to make the quilt core.
Shan Amu held the soft silk and put it aside. He came over and said to Yao Xiaoqing with a smile: "Xiaoqing, we can use long-haired sheep or rabbit hair to make quilts!"
"That's right!" Yao Xiaoqing patted his head and looked at Shan Amu with a smile, "It's because Amu has a good brain, I never thought of this."
